A 38-kilogram patient. A recent coronary stent. An ankle fracture that can’t wait much longer.
At an outpatient surgery center, the plan seems straightforward: assess the cardiac risk, develop an anesthetic plan, control her postoperative pain, and get her safely home.
But a few subtle clues begin to change the case.
In this episode of The Anesthesia Playbook, we work through the case in real time—making decisions, challenging assumptions, and adapting as new information emerges.
If you’re preparing for oral boards, pause when the questions come up and commit to an answer before listening on.
Because the important question isn’t just whether you know the right answer.
It’s whether you recognize when the case has changed, and if you're able to explain your clinical reasoning.
